ADDIE'S 5 YEAR PHOTO SHOOT

So she decided not to wear the outfit I specifically bought for this and changes her headband at the last minute that doesn't match...so Addie!

ADDIE'S PRESCHOOL GRADUATION

Today Addie graduated from preschool! Of course I was a big boob and cried the entire time! Aubree never went to preschool so this was the first one. And we really liked Addie's teacher and she's moving..so there.
Anyways. It was really cute and Addie loved being the center of attention for once. I think she kind of feels left out since Aubree has soccer games every week so this was her thing. Afterwards I gave her a make up purse full of nail polishes and nail stickers.

THE EGGS HAVE HATCHED!!

So I checked on the nest today to find 10 out of the 12 eggs have hatched! The mom wasn't there so I quickly snapped some shots with the girls holding them (which of course I later learned it was a big NO NO!) I immediately called Addie's preschool teacher cuz coincidentally these last 2 weeks they have been learning about mommy animals and their babies. So she came over and was worried about them sneaking out under the fence so we put them in one of my storage bins next to the nest. By this time I was thinking the mom was gone for good and what in the world was I going to do with 10 baby ducks! So about 30 minutes later I hear the mom duck come back of course going crazy. I was worried she was going to reject them now that we've touched them. So I dumped them out of the bin and just waited to see what would happen. It took her a couple of hours, but I just checked on them and now she's sitting on them. Now I need to get a pool! And of course all I'm hearing is "Can we keep one?"

THE NEWEST MEMEBER OF OUR FAMILY

Ewe is all I can say. Since the dog idea got shot to you know where, I had to settle for this. What was supposed to be a simple FHE activity to the local pet store turned out costing me $150!

SPRING AT OUR HOUSE

So this is what I have been doing while Austin is at preschool. I'm sunburned, my back hurts, and I think I've convinced David just to pay someone to do the rest cuz i can't do anymore!!

"PETS" IN OUR BACKYARD

Apparently our backyard has become a haven for wild animals, probably because of all the weeds! We have a wild duck that has laid eggs, a birds nest, and this morning we found baby kittens in the window well!

SOCCER SEASON (UPDATED)

Aubree wanted to try soccer this year. She hasn't been in soccer since kindergarten. She was kind of a ball hog so I waited until she was ready again before I signed her up. Last Saturday was her first game and she did pretty good. They won their game and she's excited for the next game.

UPDATE: Aubree had a game today and scored a goal! They won 3-2

WICKED

My sister and I went and saw WICKED Saturday night. It was AMAZING! We didn't have bad seats either. I was shocked out how funny it was! The music was amazing and the main characters voice was incredible!!

ADDISON'S 5TH BIRTHDAY

ADDIE'S BIRTHDAY

We're celebrating Addison's birthday tommorow so I figured I better start with this post today since I'm annal about my blog.

Addie is our California baby. She tried to come at 28 weeks so they put me on bed rest. I had some AMAZING friends and family who came to the rescue. Addie still came about 5 weeks early at a whopping 5 pounds and later became a 95th percentile baby (if you have an hour to watch the slide show you will see why!)
Addie is my girlie girl and my perfectionist. I peeked into her room to see how she was coming along with the laundry. She kept on refolding one of her shirts and was getting really frustrated about it. I finally just told her it didn't need to be folded perfect and she replied through gritted teeth,"I WANT IT PERFECT!!!" Lately she has been organizing the bathroom, espceially the cabinet underneath the sink. She pulled everything out, cleaned the bottom and put all of the hair bows, headbands, exc. in their right basket and stacked them up neatly. I even caught her scrubing the sink with a toothbrush! Another time Austin had dumped both Aubree's and Addie's laundry all over the floor and Addie folded everything and put it all away. She even folds her underwear and puts it neatly in her underwear basket. (I don't even do that!)
Anyways. I just can't believe that she is already 5 and will be in kindergarden next year! We love our little ocd girlie girl!

AUSTIN'S 1ST DAY OF PRESCHOOL

Tuesday was Austin's 1st day of preschool. I was really nervous at first cuz he just barely turned 3 and he was going to ride the bus all by himself and be gone for 3 hours!! When he got home I asked him if he had fun and he shook his head no and kind of had a dazed expression on his face. But today when I told him he was going to school and ride the bus he was so excited. He dragged me outside (in the snow) to wait for the bus. When he saw the bus coming he went hysterical! Now what to do for the next 3 hours....YAHOOO!!!!
